the rod will be stronger, but will break, the cable will bend under force, but not break. the rod has more tensile and shear strength.

What is the difference between a joint and a termination?

What size cable do you need to support 4000 pounds with four points of contact?
Using 6x19 fiber core steel rope, you need only 1/4" which has a breaking strength of 6,020 pounds. Each cable must be able to support the full weight of the load; however, shock loading also needs to be considered. With this in mind you should use 1/2" steel rope (23,600 pound) to lift/suspend this load.

What is a free weight in weight training?
A free weight is one that is not attached to a machine, cable, etc. This essentially means barbells and dumbells. These types of weights are more effective for strength gains.
What does minimum breaking strength mean?
It means that a piece of rope or cable will, at least, be able to with stand that amount of weight. Don't go anywhere near this weight though.

An example where the measurement of tensile strength is important to the use of a material in industry?
